The report, explored the energy architecture of 126 countries which have been ranked on the premises on their ability to provide energy access across three dimensions of the “energy triangle” i.e. affordability, environmental sustainability, security and access. The report noted that India is facing a vast array of challenges in the power sector in order to meet its growth targets. However, electrification appears to have progressed. It further noted that the proportion of the population covered having grown over the past six years by 4 percentage points to 79 per cent.
Over the last decade, World energy production and imports rose by 3,200 million tonnes of oil equivalent, driven by the boom in the Asian economies and led by China and India. Accordingly, fuel trade patterns have dramatically changed during this period. In particular, Asia accounted for less than 20 per cent of the world fuel trades in 2004, but this figure has sharply risen to 35 per cent in 2014, leading to a redistribution of forces and new alliances around the world.
